A three-year-old colt of Matt Cullen's
broke loose from a Main street hitching post
to-day. lie turned east at Second South
street, ran for one block and fell down. Re.
gaming his feet, he ran to Ihlrd South, ana
then made a straight shoot for the Salt Lake
Brewery, where Mr.. Cullen's driver hopes to
find him stopping for refreshments.
When Mr.. Booth read the IrOnlbone'S
criticism on last nights performance he fell
into a violent fit of weeping and could not
be cOmforted. Those about HIM began to
fear that the great actor would die in hyster-
les, but at last his manager hit upon novel
plan to revive him. Bringing the Herald
he read its criticism, explaining to Booth that
he is not such bad actor, after all, and
that, with careful study and perseverance,
he may yet be successful. Edwin ceased to
sob and, registering a solemn oath that he
would out-live this great sorrow and over
come his defects, he went out to look for
the two "critics," with q determination to
thank them for pointing out his faults and
giving him this timely advice. which must
be of untold benefit 80 him.
Yesterday at u, M, two young bloods got
BILE. Shortly after that time the pair got
their necks filled with upset whisky. At
about O'Clock one was seen with the whip
while the other held the reins, and both
were endeavoring to increase their speed to
a 2:20 gait. All went on swimmingly until
they attempted to tear up the railroad track
on Fourth West street, where they capsized
smashed the buggy, broke the harness and
plowed the earth with their heads. One
way pretty badly bruised and cut, and had
his ear partly torn off. The other escaped
with a few scratches. The greatest injury
will be to the hattening of the pocket books,
when the doctor aud stablemen present
their bills

Some of the Commercial Street
SaIOOn-Keeper,s Woes.
The robbery committed at the Social
Hall Saloon on Monday last is the pro-
prietor's second experience of misplaced
confidence in the last six months. He
says that the last six months has been a
most unlucky time for him. One time
he took Dutchman in, fed and clothed
him, only to awake next morning and
find him gone This would not have
mattered so much if his horse and buggy
had not gone also. Three months
ago, while in a little skirmish, his
opponent got away with two of his
fingers, and just as his money bag was
once more assuming its natural size and
two finger stubs were beginning to heal,
he was visited by the most innocent
looking young "ditcher," short, slim,
and good-looking fellow who was willing
to do anything to make an honest
living. He was fed, clothed, and
hired. Monday morning after remain
ing about three weeks with the saloon
he skipped, taking with him $3.50 in cash,
a fine pistol, plug of tobacco and the
proprietor's favorite iack-knife. The sa-
loon-keeper says that on Monday morn
ing, about o'clock, he woke Dick up
and gave him the key to the saloon and
told him to open up and sweep out. Then,
thinking business would 60 on all straight
for while, he lay down again to sleep
few moments. At about Z o'clock,
hearing some one in the room, he
looked up, and seeing the innocent
mug of Dick, allowed his slumbers to be
no longer disturbed. The proprietor says
that Dick always carried knife about
two feet long, but he didn't think much
of that. The last of Dick was seen Mon
day morning going down the State Road.
Several officers are in pursuit, but moth
ing can be learned of him up to date.
Within the last two weeks there have
been three houses entered by sneak
thieves One was robbed of about $75
worth of clothing, another about 500 in
cash, and at the third they luckily es
capped with nothing. A few days ago the
same little Dutchman was driven away
from house he was shadowing on Fifth
South street. Anyone looking for job,
whether he be good, bad, handsome or
innocent, will get black eye by making
application to the Social Hall Saloon

UNDER $1,000 BONDS.
May white is Bound over d.
Judge Mckay.


Judge Mckay.
The preliminary examination OF big
May" White, arrested yesterday on the
charge of adultery, came up in Judge
McKay's court at o'clock this after:
noon. There was small attendance OF
men, outside of the witnesses.
The defendant was represented by At
torney Gee, who began by demurrlng to
the complaint on the ground that the
exact place where the crime was COM
mitted was not stated. The demurrer
was overruled and the Court read the
complaint to the defendant.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Joseph Barlow, policeman, was the
first witness. He testified that he knew
May White and Frank Engler by sight.
He saw them first last Sunday morning.
When he first saw Engler he was
crouched between trunk and the bed:
May was en- diShabille, and when L went
in she went out and rushed out around
the house. .,
To defense: ''Big Belle" went with
us; we took her out of Jail for this pur-
pose Belle asked for admission and the
door was opened. Excused.
Policeman Pickett said he had known
defendant for two or three months I;
I have heard her testify that
she was married; have known
Engler about three years; when
we went in the room that evening
a portion of the bed clothe were on the
the floor; the bed looked as though it
had been occupied; have certificate of
marriage which would indicate that
Mary is married.
To defense We took "Big Belle" out
of jail and she went with us for the pur-
pose of getting into those rooms. Elk
cused.
Joseph Burt said that he knew the de-
PENDANT. Was present at the time of the
arrest, and went into the room after she
was dressed. The men said something
about man being in the room, and she
said yes, that there was man in there,
but it was not Engler. The house has
the reputation of being an designation
house. Excused.
Arthur Pratt said: 1 have had de-
PENDANT in custody; she said she was
married to Mr.. White last summer, and
had not been divorced. Excused.
Messrs. Pickett and Barlow were re-
called, and said that the house had the
reputation of being a house of prosti-
tuition. Excused.
Dr. Naisbitt was then called by the de-
Tense am acquainted with Frank Engler.
He was in very bad condition when 1
attended him in February, and it would
have been impossible at that time for
him to be guilty of the offense named. l
prescribed for him thirteen times. Ex-
cused.
Mary Adams was then sworn, and de-
MED that the offense was committed.
Engler was sitting on the bed when the
cops came in; he had been there but
about fifteen minutes; he just came down
to see me.
To prosecution: | was married last
July and he lived with rae only until
next morning.
Mr.. Gee made a brief argument, and
Judge Mckay concluded by saying that
the circumstances were such as to make
it almost impossible to believe the de-
PENDANT innocent. He then ordered that
she be held in the sum of 81 900 to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
1t is not likely that May can get sure
ties, and she will therefore be obliged to
go to Jail pending the investigation.

than which there is no better public
house outside of Salt Lake City. The
rooms are all furnished in elegant style,
and SO arranged that they can be occu-
pied singly or in suites. On the first
floor there are nice parlors, a commodi-
GUS sample room and a large dining hall,
in which are served sumptuous and
splendidly cooked meals. Terms by day
or week are very reasonable, and as the
hotel is opposite the D. & r.. G.. depot,
rain. walk across the street and be enter
tanned in first-class country hotel.
Late Monday evening, Johnny Deal,
the genial "proprietaire" of the Provo
D. & r. G. hotel walked from Spring
vile to Provo. He was soon after fol-
lowed by one of the Cluff brothers and
the travelling man of THE DEMOCRAT, who
had not proceeded far on their way when
they saw man riding a horse as for
dear life. Boldly he rode, and well"
When having nearly caught up with
Deal, he turned his steed down lane
leading to the railroad track on which
we all three were counting the ties"
and dashed down the track shouting to
Deal, "Put out, leave the track, the
deputies are after you"
His disgust can easier be imagined
than described when Johnny turned
around; the would-be warner knew him
and saw that he had made mistake.
Striking his spurs into the horses TANKS
he disappeared in the evenings gloom
ing. But Deal was so overcome with
the idea that he should be taken for a
cohab. that he tainted on the track "then
and thar" When we came up to him
he lay across the track, his hands folded
across his breast, but most disgustful
expression, as it were, disfgured his
countenance. With the aid of a
smelling" bottle we soon drought him
to-" but he walked the rest of the way in
silence and apparently in sorrow.

How the Boys i'm Blue Dish Up the
Red.

HeOs
At about u 80 last night Morris Lane
and David Wagner, of Company B, and
Jumbo" of Company K, Sixth infantry,
created most exciting disturbance in
front of Culmer Bros. store ON First South
street. Morris Lane was suspected of
being the one who maliciously broke
liz the immense plate glass windows
of Culmer's store, and was accord
ingly collared by Nightwatchman Dob
son. At this point Jumbo" stepped up
and stated that he had broken the glass
himself and was willing to go with them
to the cooler. When the trio reached
the corner of First East street the two
soldiers jumped Dobson and hammered
him shamefully. They then ran down
the street. and were not heard of until
some hours later. Dobson in the mean
time gathered some of the police force
together and started hunt. They were
caught at about 3 O'Clock this
morning and taken to the City Jail.
Their trial is get for 2 p. m. to-day.
Culmer Bros damages will amount to
over $500.

The Brennan Banner closes a
well written and thoughtful edit
orial, on the evils of The land mort
gage system, in the following
words: at is known that where
lands are mortgaged to secure loans
they are scarcely ever redeemed; it
is a rare exception that they are,
and where it is done it is by strain
ing every nerve and by making al
most superhuman exertions. The
farmers, themselves, while many
of them will not hesitate to mort
gage their farms when they need
little money, know that the system
is curse, and it must be stopped.
The interests of the soil should be
protected, and if the farmers will
insist on acting improvidently, the
laws against usury and in regard
to mortgages and trusts should be
very strict

er line for the farmers of McLen,
nan county, We wopld say to them
with our last breath: Don't mort.
gage the farm for anything or upon
any provocation or hope of gain.
If you must needs speculate do it
outside of the home nest. Always
keep that safe for the dear wife
and babies. There are all sorts of
men ready to loan money to the
farmer and takes mortgages for Sc
curity, but the time of reckoning
will surely come and then in nine
cases out of ten the faithful wife
and helpless children are turned
out upon the cola sympathy of the
world, to try it again. Don't mort
